Behavior Consults for Cat Owners

I routinely assist clients with aggression between pets in the home, biting or scratching people, house soiling, and working with under-socialized cats to build tolerance for handling. Please let me know how I can help you.

Initial Contact

You can reach me at 541.579.1852 or via email to discuss the behaviors you’d like help addressing. If my skills aren’t a good match for your training goals I will be happy to recommend other reputable trainers.

Collecting Information

I will ask you to fill out a couple of forms prior to our appointment so I can review your information and prepare follow up questions. This allows us to make the most of your initial consultation.

Initial Consultation

We will review your information and solidify your training goals. Actually seeing your cat and the behaviors you want to change may not be necessary, but a tour of your cat’s living space can be very helpful in terms of helping me think through management options while we are in the process of teaching your cat more desirable behaviors. We’ll discuss my recommendations and when you should expect to see results. You should plan to spend 1-1.5 hours for the initial session.

Follow Up

You will receive an email with notes from our sessions and helpful handouts regarding some of my recommendations. You are welcome to call or email with questions after our session. If you chose to continue working with me I’ll check in with you between sessions to make sure things are going well.

Subsequent Sessions

After the initial consult you will have the option to book 1 hour private sessions. These sessions are an excellent opportunity to ask questions about the skills you have been working on and to practice new exercises that will help you reach your goals. I like to book sessions 2-4 weeks apart so my clients have time to practice in between appointments.
